A Cross

A few days ago I went to a worship service called Blaze. I've only gone twice but it is one of the greatest things I have ever been to. They have this strong nit community where even those that aren't apart of it are welcome. It is such an inviting and peaceful place to be. Everyone there is so open and honest with each other.

That night two things struck me the most. The first was when one of the guys told us of this one thing that had been on his mind all day. He gave us this image of us being alone standing on a hill. In front of us is a cross and a man on that cross. That man is there to save us and yet every time we sin we spit right at his face. We disgrace the one person is this life that will always love us no matter how many times we walk past the cross and spit at his face.

Yet even though we disgrace him as much as we do, He has placed his life all around us. He reaches out to us and wants us to come back to him. His love runs deeper than anything we could ever imagine. Its even built into our own bodies. We are held together by Christ through laminin. Its a small structure and without it our bodies would just fall apart. The most amazing part is the shape of the structure. Its a cross!

Christ holds us together and gives us the strength we need to move on.
